Florida Has Twice Been Ranked The Worst Legal System in the Country.

South Florida was named the No. 1 "Judicial Hellhole" by The American Tort Reform Association, and the entire state was given the dubious distinction of being worst in the nation for legal fairness by the Pacific Research Institute.

We as Floridians must say no to lawsuit abuse. Lawsuit abuse hurts our economy, damages our communities, threatens our health care and undermines our civil justice system.The legal problems facing our state demand attention from our legislators. Without meaningful reforms, we will continue to pay the price. I hope that by 2009, our legislators will get it right and pass the common-sense legal reforms we need.
